Benedict Koehler and Hilari Farrington

Bio: This musical couple now living in East Montpelier, Vermont, met at a benefit for the Champlain Festival in 1986. Strongly influenced by the playing of the great musicians of East Galway and County Clare, both Benedict and Hilari have played and taught widely at Irish music festivals and events such as the Catskills Irish Arts Week, the Chris Langan Weekend in Toronto, the St. Louis Tionol, the Piper's Gathering in North Hero, and the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. Known as insightful and generous teachers, Benedict and Hilari are also engaging performers on uilleann bagpipes, penny whistle, Irish harp, and button accordion. They have shared the stage with some of the finest musicians of our day. Either individually or as a duo, they have also appeared as guest performers on CDs by fiddlers Sarah Blair, Becky Tracy and Laurel Martin, piper Brian McNamara, and accordionist Patty Furlong.
